To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, Elana: Jones, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and fltate of New York, have invented new and useful linprovements in Scissors idharpcners, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to scissors sharpeners.

The general object of the invention is to provide a simple, efficient and durable scis sors sharpener, which device presents a neat and attractive appearance and of such a size that it may be carried in work horses and the like.

it further object is the provision of a scissors sharpener adapted for use with all. sizes of scissors and that may be operated by people whohave little .inechanical shill.

These objects are accomplished by pro viding an instrument cast from glass, the

handle of which is cylindrical and provided with a plurality of circumferential grooves, the head of which has a plurality of curved faces of different thicknesses formed there on, each face being provided with a plurality of grooves.

'lhese and other objects ofthe invention will be more clearly understood froin the following detailed description and accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure 1 is a plan view sharpener;

Figure 2 is a section along the hue E--Q, lligure l; and

Figure 3 is a section along Figure 1.

lleferring to the alcove mentioned drawings, a handle 10 is shown which is of smaller diameter at the upper end that at the lower end. A plurality of grooves 11. and 12 are formed in conjunction with the handle at the bottom and top, respectively. Attached to the upper end of the cylindrical handle 10 is a head 13. Three curved faces i l, 15 and 16 of different thiclrin-isses are formed on the head 13. A. plurality of grooves 17, 18 and 19 are formed in the faces i l, 15 and 16, respectively. These grooves are varied in size, depending on the the line 3-3,

thickness of the face in which they are formed. ln order to accommodate scissors of different sizes the faces are made of different thicknesses and the size of the grooves is decreased with the thickness of the face. lrojections 20 are forn'ied on the handle to provide a means for gripping the same. An opening 2i. extends throl'lgh the head 13 and serves as a means for hanging the scissors sharpener up when not in use.

The scissors Sharpener may he made from a variety of materials that are harder than the steel used in scissors. it has been found that the preferable material for the co11- struction of such a device is glass of a fair ly hard quality which is usually harder than the steel used in the construction of scissors.

From the foregoing it will appear that a scissors sharpener has been devised which is simple to operate and compact in size.

llt may be made of a variety of designs which will appear attractive to nearly any individual. i

lln operating the device, all that is necessary is to grip the blades of the scissors in the grooves and by closing and releasing the handle the device may he operated.

it would state in conclusion that while the illustrated example constitutes a practical embodiment of my invention ll do not limit myself strictly to the exact details herein illustrated since manifestly the same can he considerably varied. without departing from the spirit of the invention as delined in the appended claim.

Elainells a new article of manufacture, a scissors sharpener of the character discribed, comprising a tapering cylii'idrical handle. a plurality of circumferential ridges formed integ at with the handle at each end, said circumferential ridges being spaced apart forming circun'iferential grooves, a head having an opening therethrough formed integral with the smaller end of the handle. and a plurality of curved faces of different thicknesses formed on the head, each curved face having a plurality of grooves formed therein.
